So what size was your first STREET bike (knowing many people started out on dirtbikes)?
Was it an I4 or a Twin?
Did you have previous experience (i.e. with dirtbikes)?
If you started on something "bigger," do you think it hurt your development as a rider or do you wish you'd started smaller?

1. 600cc 60hp Yamaha SecaII(Technically 599cc)
2. Air Cooled Inline 4
3. I rode my friends SV650s once
4. I probably would have died if I started on something bigger because I don't have much sense at all
